Star Signs in a Parallel Universe

So near and yet so far!

Not talking ’bout the nearest star,

But of the closest parallel universe,

Where things run in reverse.

Astrology there's upside-down:

Your sign's not set at birth

But kicks in when you pop your clogs.

Forlorn,

Like ours, a parallel Jesus died

on April 3rd in AD 33,

An Aries. And in a recent century,

Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini

cling together in late April 1945—

They’re both Taurus, Mao’s a Virgo,

And Stalin and Volodya Putin "thrive,"

It's said, in Pisces.

There you go!

Though backwards, perhaps it works:

Your karma’s set from death to being born,

Avoiding much confusing life.

Time there will place the present quirks.

DT was born a Gemini, and a quarter century on,

In Jacaranda City, came his Cancer twin—

Two scheduled presently to relocate to old oblivion.

Not Mars.

But of the topsy-turvy stars'

returns, conversely, don't forget:

A parallel Leo, Elvis fiddles Schubert in the Amadeus String Quartet!
